Riley
Emma
Ellie
Lilah
Margot
Chloe

which do you like?

Emma or Ellie. Chloe seems a bit last decade to me.

Ellie is so overused, at one point it felt like every girl was an Ellie-May or Ellie-Rose.

I like Emma, Chloe or Lilah but spelt Lyla. It does feel like Chloe has had it’s time as a few years back it was everywhere.

Babies called Chloe in England & Wales since 1996 (darkgreener.com)
Chloe was hugely popular in the late 1990s.

The figures for Ellie will seem more stable because a lot of Ellies will have a BC name like Eleanor, Eliana, Elodie, Eloise

I really like all of these

Emma is beautiful and classic so probably my favourite
Margot is becoming very popular, if that bothers you

Other suggestions: Elodie, Eloise, Mila

Emma

Emma and Ellie, are very pretty, lovely names, have been for centuries but they are also extremely popular and have been for decades.

How are you pronouncing Lilah? Lye-luh, Lee-lah, Lee-luh, Lill-ler, Lill-lah....? I'd assume Lill-ler but I think it might be Lye-luh, which I think it is nicer spelled Lyla.

I really like Margot.

I have always loved Chloe and always fancied calling a daughter Chloe after a character I like in Home and Away in the 90's!

Riley is awful.

Good luck!

None to be frank. If you go with Lilah please leave if the h at the end, it looks tacky people adding a h to the end of names that really don’t need it.

Riley - chavvy, sorry!
Emma - very pretty and classic, definitely due a reboot and feels fresh again. My favourite of your list
Ellie - Really like
Lilah - not bad but not great
Margot - nice but it’s faddy and overused at the minute
Chloe - dated

Imo Lilah is the best spelling, I suppose the 'H' on the end comes from using it as a diminutive of Delilah? So not random then. I also like the spelling Lila, although you might be more likely to get a pronunciation of 'Lee-la' rather than 'Lye-la' from that.

I don't like the spelling Lyla, just because I don't think it looks so pretty written down.

My favourite is Lilah (or Lila) and I think Ellie, Chloe and Emma are nice too. Really dislike Margot and Riley, sorry!

Riley is awful. “For the love of Riley!!” Very tacky. Lilah will get endless variations on the spelling and pronunciation. Ellie is drippy sounding and SO overused.

I don’t like Chloe or Emma but there is nothing objectively wrong with them. Margot is OK.

I’d probably go for Margot if I had to choose one of these.

Margot

Riley - awful.
Emma - nice name nothing special.
Ellie - pretty name. Not so good if genetically she might be a bit of a heffalump.
Lilah - ok-ish
Margot - lovely name.
Chloe - a bit of a 'mean girl' name.

They are all lovely, i’d just avoid Ellie as it’s so common right now. I know several toddler Ellies.
